If you are unsure if you have a Geek Squad Protection plan on your phone you can check your account here. You can can also check your coverage on your smart device by downloading the Best Buy Home app, avaialble on both iOS and Android. These apps can also be found by searching "Best Buy Home" in the App Store or Google Play Store, respectively.

Service valid on select Samsung smartphone models in limited locations. Device must be dropped off before 6 p.m. local time. Reservation required. First come, first served. Most repairs will be completed same-day if all necessary parts are in stock and device is not extensively damaged. Certain repairs may require a longer mail-in exchange process. See an Associate for full details.

FAQ:

My phone doesn’t have Geek Squad Protection. Can you still work on it?

Sure! Beyond fulfilling Geek Squad Protection claims and Samsung manufacturer’s warranty claims we can also perform cash on delviery work for uncovered phones. Please not that we are only able to perform these repairs at our Samsung Authorized Service Provider locations, listed here.

Does my manufacturer’s warranty cover a cracked screen?Samsung's warranty does not cover accidental damage from handling, so you would be looking at a charge to get your screen repaired. The same is true of the back glass. Prices can be found in the chart above.

After my repair, will my phone retain its water resistance rating?Yes. Because we use real Samsung parts, a repaired phone will have the same water resistance rating as a new phone.

How long will the repair take?Usually we’re able to get your repair done the same day as you check it in assuming all parts needed are in stock and the amage to the phone is not excessive, so your time without your phone should be minimal. You’ll want to make sure that you check your phone in before 6:00 PM local time to give the Agent working on your phone time to finish the repairs.

My phone has liquid damage. Can you fix that?

We cannot repair liquid damage in store. If you have a Geek Squad Protection plan on your phone, make a reservation to visit your local Geek squad here. We can check your phone out and see if it qualifies for Express Replacement.

What if my phone has more problems after I get it repaired?Because our Agents are Samsung Authorized, and we use only original Samsung parts, any hardware repair we perform will come with a 90-day Samsung warranty. Just make a new reservationa nd come back in.

Can you perform work on a Galaxy Note 7?

Geek Squad, as a Samsung Care Authorized Service Provider, does not provide service on recalled Samsung Galaxy Note 7 devices.You may receive a replacement or refund for the Galaxy Note 7 at your place of purchase or Samsung toll-free at (844) 365-6197 any time, or go online at http://www.samsung.com. For more information on the Note 7 recall, please visit this link.

Can you repair a phone that wasn't bought at Best Buy?In most cases, yes. At this time, however, we are unable to perform repairs on phones from outside of the United States. To see if your phone qualifies for a repair, it is best to check your model number. If it ends in A, V, T, P or U (U1 for Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8+ and newer), we should be able to work on it, as a general guideline.

My phone won't even turn on. Can you help?

We may be able to, but there are some troubleshooting steps you should try before making the trip to see us. First, you'll want to try a different charger than you are currently using. Leave it plugged in for at least a half hour. While still plugged in, try holding the power button down for a few seconds to turn it on. If that doesn't work, it's time to make a reservation to visit the Geek Squad. Even if we can't perform a repair, the phone may qualify for Express Replacement.

I have Geek Squad Protection, but I don't live near any of the participating stores. Can you still help me with my phone?

We can only perform repairs in one of our Samsung Authorized Repair locations. We can, however, help you swap your phone out through our Express Replacement program. Check out this article for further details on that program.

Can you perform repairs on my non-Samsung Android phone?

We may be able to perform some software work on non-Samsung Android phones, but at this time we do not offer hardware service on these phones in-store. If you have a Geek Squad Protection Plan on your phone, please head here for instructions on how to get a replacement phone ordered. If the phone is under a manufacturer's warranty, please reach out to wither the manufacturer or your callular carrier for support under that warranty.
